Yonkers Raceway has a 12-race card featuring action from the final leg of the Borgata Pacing Series. The $1.00 Late Pick 4 starts in Race 9, and the sequence will be my focus. For more coverage, check out my Yonkers Pick 5 video analysis at the Xpressbet YouTube page.

Comments and selections below are based on a fast track.

Race 9

2-Pretty Handsome (6-1)-Proven competitor versus this kind and should benefit from an inside post draw. Stratton returns for the 2nd straight steer and that should help as well.
6-Townline All Good (2-1)-Winner in 4 of the last 5 and two of the pictures came against $50k claimers. Gingras should have the pedal down but also could come off cover, short field doesn't hurt chances. Should be there at the wire as long as there aren't any bad steps.

Race 10

2-Flow With Joe (7/2)-Gets some class relief and versus this kind the plan might be to get the top and play catch me if you can.
4-Kerford Road A (7-1)-This is 2nd time Lasix, gets Brennan back in the bike and he is the regular pilot. Raced from the back last time, came 4th, and now steps up. Should be a price and did pace the 2nd half in 56.2.
6-BB Lucky Boy (3-1)-Hasn't connected for a win this year (0-5) but has won 4 of 8 here and this was Stratton's choice. It could be a drop and pop situation if lands in a good seat off the gate.

Race 11

2-Twin B Heart Throb (3-1)-Gets needed post relief and that makes this Cullipher pupil a threat to take honors. The 5-year-old is versatile and has hit the board in 7 of 10 at Yonkers with 2 wins.
6-Peace Out Posse (4-1)-Has had some issues, a Judges Scratch and then broke stride. But stayed flat in last and had a big try from post 8 to finish 3rd at this level. Does have good gate speed to get a close-up seat and is a player if problems have been resolved.

Race 12

6-Semi Tough (5/2)-Sprinted out to a .55 opening half last week and held safe to the wire. Steps up but this 7-year-old can string them together and has plenty of back class.
7-Ballerat Boomerang (8-1)-Makes the 2nd start for Di Domenico and the last try wasn't bad at all. This post draw is a challenge but that's why he is at 8-1 in the morning line. If the pace is lively Brennan could work a stalking trip and be there at the wire.
